Funerals Mrs Edward Mason
Very largely attended the funeral was held yesterday afternoon to Fonthill of the late Mrs. Edward Mason, who passed away at the Welland County General hospital last Friday morning in her 76th year. The great number of floral tributes noted at the graveside bore silent but effective token of the affection of a wide circle of friends including the membership of the Royal Sea Cadet Corps of Welland.
Pallbearers were John Walters, Leslie Walters, W.R. Martin, Jack Martin, J. Emmons, and A. Colquhoun, and the honorary pallbearers were members of the Sea Cadet Corps, D. Penwarden, B. Penwarden, L.Woodhead and A. Radway.
Officers of the R.C.S.C.C. of Welland and members of the Sea Cadet Corps auxiliary formed a guard of honor. The officers were Lieutenant-Commander H.G.R. Williams, R.N.R., and Lieutenants C. Liddell, P. Cousins and Paddy Curtis. Members of the Ladies’ auxiliary participating were under direction of Mrs. J. Chalmers. The former O.C. the Sea Cadets, Sub-Lieutenant W. Mason, R.C.N.V.R., was present from Calgary as a member of the family, and with him there were his sister, Mrs Frank Oates, and their father, Edward Mason.
Rev. A.H. Davis, rector of Holy Trinity church, officiated both at the H.L. Cudney funeral chapel, 241 West Main street, and at Fonthill cemetery.
Among the many lovely floral tributes were those from the Good Fellows’ Club, Electro-Metallurgical Company of Canada Limited, the firm’s accounting department, and the Ladies’ Aid of the Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps of Welland.
